Some thoughts on Riven.

I think up to this point, Riven was a perfectly balanced champion. Although it required very little skill to play, it took very big experience to master. It had a relatively high skillcap and it's counters were in a healthy number. And now riot has to come and screw everything up. Why would you make this Q change? It will definitely make her a much more agressive (and much more stronger) laner and it will take away half the skill it needed. If you're giving this buff to Riven, why not give Darius a buff where you automatically ult when there's 5 hemorrhage stacks on the enemy? Why not buff Alistar by making him automatically do the W+Q combo? Buffing Riven in itself sounds questionable, but making the champion strictly LESS difficult is just a stupid decision.

I hope that some day, riot learns to balance and makes the changes that the community requested for so long.

if they go through with this change and make riven easier in 5.2, her winrate will go to 60%> 5.3 gets nerfed to un viability> i'll stop maining riven and quit league, that is if they go through with the riven Q changes. The AA cancels seperate the bad riven's from the good, basically making her more consistent at crap elos(bronze,silver, and low gold) which, TBH is kinda a slap in the face to the people who spent time to learn her AA cancels can combos, so idk. And people say good riven's are scary/ op, of course any good player on their main champ are scary. That's like saying nerf faker for being the korean jesus.....just lol
